His hard work finally paid off at the Star Awards 2007 ceremony when he won the Best Actor award for his role in Like Father, Like Daughter. After his Best Actor win in 2007, Zheng's popularity rose when he won the Top 10 Most Popular Male Artistes from the years 2009-2013. He bared his body at the age of 47, putting most men to shame with his solid new six pack. Zheng Geping became the brand ambassador of hair consulting company in June 2013.

On 1 February 2023, Zheng resigned from MediaCorp as a full-time artiste.
